Tonight a group did some of the break down of the machine, so mostly just an empty shell as it sits.

Next we have to: Get the CPU / Monitor / and controls working. Finish gutting the shell and clean it up for primer / Base-Coat of paint Work out the Artwork, Lighting, and other physical decorations Plan the Control pad's, determine what Types are needed to get the most out of the games, and create a template to build multiple controls(for fast changeout) Find a way to make Mame reward you in Beer instead of extra lives, or power ups...

OK, we've been looking at the cabinet and need to make a decision on how to mount the new monitor inside. The original CRT was face up with a reflective angle panel at the back. An alternate way to mount the monitor would be to position it with the display face toward the player but angled for optimal direct viewing. If mounted this way, we'd want to build a new bezel. It looks like the monitor would fit wholly inside this way without having to remove the housing.
